Warner Isaacs, July 10, 2024

Warner graduated from Country Day School in 1952 and attended Washington & Lee University. After college, he returned home to St. Louis where he worked as a stock broker for Semple Jacobs, joining his father in the brokerage business. He eventually joined Stifel Nicholas and retired in April 2024. He had an illustrious career and became the longest tenured employee, working at Stifel for over 61 years.

Warner was passionate about Camp Nebagamon where he was a camper for six years and a counselor for an additional four. Some of his fondest memories and longest friendships were born in this special camp in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. He passed his love of camp down to his sons and grandson and had a welcome sign at his house that read, “This is a Place of Welcome to All” which was from Nebagamon.

Warner’s life was steeped in traditions based on his love of both family and St. Louis. He was a past President of Clayton Rotary, Mers Goodwill and was an avid “all Cardinal” fan, both football (St. Louis not Arizona) and baseball. Warner loved his time on the golf course at Westwood Country Club where he began playing as a young boy.

Most of all, Warner loved his family. He beamed with pride in speaking of his children, Julie, Teddy, and Stephen. He welcomed his in-law children with enthusiasm and loved to see his family grow. Each of his eight grandchildren knew how much he loved and supported them and he had numerous nicknames for them. Most of all, Warner loved and was proud to call Helane his wife for 65 years, he was a devoted husband. Together they raised their children, enjoyed their grandchildren and traveled the world.

Warner leaves behind a loving legacy in his family. His wife Helane, daughter and son-in-law Julie and Roger Scherck, son and daughter-in-law Ted and Judith Isaacs, and son, Stephen Isaacs. His grandchildren Emily and Daniel Polinsky, Ariel and Sophie Isaacs, Ellie and Katie Scherck and Adam, Jordan and Marissa Isaacs proudly carry wonderful memories of their Papa. He passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family.
